NOTE TO N.P. GORBUNOV¹.
3/X [1921]

Comrade Gorbunov!

Where is the Russian translation? Send it to all members of the Council of Labor and Defense and the Politburo so that each one reads it, writes "read" [on it], and returns it to you.

Lenin.

¹ This directive was written by Lenin on Gorbunov's note, in which the latter reported Rutgers' request to have his declaration read before the Council of Labor and Defense meeting on September 30, 1921, where a draft agreement with his group was to be discussed. The essence of the declaration amounted to a demand for autonomy for the colony of American workers and the establishment of direct contact with the Council of Labor and Defense through its local organs.
